Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt says:
"When unlink(2) is called on the symbolic link, the source item is
notified via the ->drop_link() method. Like the ->drop_item() method,
this is a void function and cannot return failure."
The ->drop_item() is indeed a void function, the ->drop_link() is
actually not. This, together with the fact that the value of ->drop_link()
is silently ignored suggests, that it is the ->drop_link() return
type that should be corrected and changed to void.
This patch changes drop_link() signature and all its users.

Currently the revision isn't available via sysfs/libudev thus if one wants
to know the value one needs to read through the config file, which can be
quite time-consuming because it wakes/powers up the device.
There are at least two userspace components which could make use the new
file: libpciaccess and libdrm. The former wakes up _every_ PCI device,
which can be observed via glxinfo when using Mesa 10.0+ drivers. The
latter, in association with Mesa 13.0, can lead to 2-3 second delays while
starting firefox, thunderbird or chromium.

This reverts more of:
b76437579d ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps")
... which was partially reverted by:
65376df582 ("proc: revert /proc/<pid>/maps [stack:TID] annotation")
Originally, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps was the same as /proc/TID/maps.
In current kernels, /proc/PID/maps (or /proc/TID/maps even for
threads) shows "[stack]" for VMAs in the mm's stack address range.
In contrast, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps uses KSTK_ESP to guess the
target thread's stack's VMA. This is racy, probably returns garbage
and, on arches with CONFIG_TASK_INFO_IN_THREAD=y, is also crash-prone:
KSTK_ESP is not safe to use on tasks that aren't known to be running
ordinary process-context kernel code.
This patch removes the difference and just shows "[stack]" for VMAs
in the mm's stack range. This is IMO much more sensible -- the
actual "stack" address really is treated specially by the VM code,
and the current thread stack isn't even well-defined for programs
that frequently switch stacks on their own.

All filesystems that support xattrs by now do so via xattr handlers.
They all define sb->s_xattr, and their getxattr, setxattr, and
removexattr inode operations use the generic inode operations. On
filesystems that don't support xattrs, the xattr inode operations are
all NULL, and sb->s_xattr is also NULL.
This means that we can remove the getxattr, setxattr, and removexattr
inode operations and directly call the generic handlers, or better,
inline expand those handlers into fs/xattr.c.
Filesystems that do not support xattrs on some inodes should clear the
IOP_XATTR i_opflags flag in those inodes. (Right now, some filesystems
have checks to disable xattrs on some inodes in the ->list, ->get, and
->set xattr handler operations instead.) The IOP_XATTR flag is

support.
In orangefs, symlinks do have a setxattr iop but no getxattr iop. Add a
check for symlinks to orangefs_inode_getxattr to preserve the current,
weird behavior; that check may not be necessary though.

injection facility. With this, we could fix several corner cases. And, in order
to improve the performance, we set inline_dentry by default and enhance the
exisiting discard issue flow. In addition, we added f2fs_migrate_page for better
memory management.
= Enhancement =
- set inline_dentry by default
- improve discard issue flow
- add more fault injection cases in f2fs
- allow block preallocation for encrypted files
- introduce migrate_page callback function
- avoid truncating the next direct node block at every checkpoint
= Bug fixes =
- set page flag correctly between write_begin and write_end
- missing error handling cases detected by fault injection
- preallocate blocks regarding to 4KB alignement correctly
- dentry and filename handling of encryption
- lost xattrs of directories

Pull xfs and iomap updates from Dave Chinner:
"The main things in this update are the iomap-based DAX infrastructure,
an XFS delalloc rework, and a chunk of fixes to how log recovery
schedules writeback to prevent spurious corruption detections when
recovery of certain items was not required.
The other main chunk of code is some preparation for the upcoming
reflink functionality. Most of it is generic and cleanups that stand
alone, but they were ready and reviewed so are in this pull request.
Speaking of reflink, I'm currently planning to send you another pull
request next week containing all the new reflink functionality. I'm
working through a similar process to the last cycle, where I sent the
reverse mapping code in a separate request because of how large it
was. The reflink code merge is even bigger than reverse mapping, so
I'll be doing the same thing again....

The Sphinx transition is still creating a fair amount of work. Here we
have a number of fixes and, importantly, a proper PDF output solution,
thanks to Jani Nikula, Mauro Carvalho Chehab and Markus Heiser.
I've started a couple of new books: a driver API book (based on the old
device-drivers.tmpl) and a development tools book. Both are meant to show
how we can integrate together our existing documentation into a more
coherent and accessible whole. It involves moving some stuff around and
formatting changes, but, I think, the results are worth it. The good news
is that most of our existing Documentation/*.txt files are *almost* in RST
format already; the amount of messing around required is minimal.
And, of course, there's the usual set of updates, typo fixes, and more.

The header file "include/linux/nilfs2_fs.h" is composed of parts for
ioctl and disk format, and both are intended to be shared with user
space programs.
This moves them to the uapi directory "include/uapi/linux" splitting the
file to "nilfs2_api.h" and "nilfs2_ondisk.h". The following minor
changes are accompanied by this migration:
- nilfs_direct_node struct in nilfs2/direct.h is converged to
nilfs2_ondisk.h because it's an on-disk structure.
- inline functions nilfs_rec_len_from_disk() and
nilfs_rec_len_to_disk() are moved to nilfs2/dir.c.

1/ Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing:
The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement either
ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm. ADR
(Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers to the
memory controller on a power-fail event. Flush addresses are defined in
ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure:
"Flush Hint Address Structure". A flush hint is an mmio address that
when written and fenced assures that all previous posted writes
targeting a given dimm have been flushed to media.
2/ On-demand ARS (address range scrub):
Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the media
to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a re-scrub at
any time.
3/ Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command format.
4/ Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.
5/ Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

have a bunch of followups in (at least) ceph and lustre, but we'll
need to sort the barrier-related rules before it can get used for
really non-trivial stuff.

and dentry_unlink_inode()) and a bunch of ->d_compare() ones (all

The idea borrowed from Peter's patch from patchset on speculative page
faults[1]:
Instead of passing around the endless list of function arguments,
replace the lot with a single structure so we can change context without
endless function signature changes.
The changes are mostly mechanical with exception of faultaround code:
filemap_map_pages() got reworked a bit.
This patch is preparation for the next one.

We have allowed migration for only LRU pages until now and it was enough
to make high-order pages. But recently, embedded system(e.g., webOS,
android) uses lots of non-movable pages(e.g., zram, GPU memory) so we
have seen several reports about troubles of small high-order allocation.
For fixing the problem, there were several efforts (e,g,. enhance
compaction algorithm, SLUB fallback to 0-order page, reserved memory,
vmalloc and so on) but if there are lots of non-movable pages in system,
their solutions are void in the long run.
So, this patch is to support facility to change non-movable pages with
movable. For the feature, this patch introduces functions related to
migration to address_space_operations as well as some page flags.
If a driver want to make own pages movable, it should define three
functions which are function pointers of struct
address_space_operations.
1. bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *page, isolate_mode_t mode);
What VM expects on isolate_page function of driver is to return *true*
if driver isolates page successfully. On returing true, VM marks the
page as PG_isolated so concurrent isolation in several CPUs skip the
page for isolation. If a driver cannot isolate the page, it should
return *false*.
Once page is successfully isolated, VM uses page.lru fields so driver
shouldn't expect to preserve values in that fields.
2. int (*migratepage) (struct address_space *mapping,
struct page *newpage, struct page *oldpage, enum migrate_mode);
After isolation, VM calls migratepage of driver with isolated page. The
function of migratepage is to move content of the old page to new page
and set up fields of struct page newpage. Keep in mind that you should
indicate to the VM the oldpage is no longer movable via
__ClearPageMovable() under page_lock if you migrated the oldpage
successfully and returns 0. If driver cannot migrate the page at the
moment, driver can return -EAGAIN. On -EAGAIN, VM will retry page
migration in a short time because VM interprets -EAGAIN as "temporal
migration failure". On returning any error except -EAGAIN, VM will give
up the page migration without retrying in this time.
Driver shouldn't touch page.lru field VM using in the functions.
3. void (*putback_page)(struct page *);
If migration fails on isolated page, VM should return the isolated page
to the driver so VM calls driver's putback_page with migration failed
page. In this function, driver should put the isolated page back to the
own data structure.
4. non-lru movable page flags
There are two page flags for supporting non-lru movable page.
* PG_movable
Driver should use the below function to make page movable under
page_lock.
void __SetPageMovable(struct page *page, struct address_space *mapping)
It needs argument of address_space for registering migration family
functions which will be called by VM. Exactly speaking, PG_movable is
not a real flag of struct page. Rather than, VM reuses page->mapping's
lower bits to represent it.
#define PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE 0x2
page->mapping = page->mapping | PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE;
so driver shouldn't access page->mapping directly. Instead, driver
should use page_mapping which mask off the low two bits of page->mapping
so it can get right struct address_space.
For testing of non-lru movable page, VM supports __PageMovable function.
However, it doesn't guarantee to identify non-lru movable page because
page->mapping field is unified with other variables in struct page. As
well, if driver releases the page after isolation by VM, page->mapping
doesn't have stable value although it has PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE (Look at
__ClearPageMovable). But __PageMovable is cheap to catch whether page
is LRU or non-lru movable once the page has been isolated. Because LRU
pages never can have PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE in page->mapping. It is also
good for just peeking to test non-lru movable pages before more
expensive checking with lock_page in pfn scanning to select victim.
For guaranteeing non-lru movable page, VM provides PageMovable function.
Unlike __PageMovable, PageMovable functions validates page->mapping and
mapping->a_ops->isolate_page under lock_page. The lock_page prevents
sudden destroying of page->mapping.
Driver using __SetPageMovable should clear the flag via
__ClearMovablePage under page_lock before the releasing the page.
* PG_isolated
To prevent concurrent isolation among several CPUs, VM marks isolated
page as PG_isolated under lock_page. So if a CPU encounters PG_isolated
non-lru movable page, it can skip it. Driver doesn't need to manipulate
the flag because VM will set/clear it automatically. Keep in mind that
if driver sees PG_isolated page, it means the page have been isolated by
VM so it shouldn't touch page.lru field. PG_isolated is alias with
PG_reclaim flag so driver shouldn't use the flag for own purpose.

are to make it easier to create better-integrated (and more attractive)

Closer to home, Documentation/kernel-documentation.rst describes how it

For now, the new system exists alongside the old one; you should soon see
the GPU documentation converted over in the DRM pull and some significant
media conversion work as well. Once all the docs have been moved over and
we're convinced that the rough edges (of which are are a few) have been
smoothed over, the DocBook-based stuff should go away.
Primary credit is to Jani Nikula for doing the heavy lifting to make this
stuff actually work; there has also been notable effort from Markus Heiser,
Daniel Vetter, and Mauro Carvalho Chehab.
Expect a couple of conflicts on the new index.rst file over the course of
the merge window; they are trivially resolvable. That file may be a bit of
a conflict magnet in the short term, but I don't expect that situation to
last for any real length of time.
Beyond that, of course, we have the usual collection of tweaks, updates,
and typo fixes.

This mount option is to enable original log-structured filesystem forcefully.
So, there should be no random writes for main area.
Especially, this supports host-managed SMR device.
Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>
The /dev/ptmx device node is changed to lookup the directory entry "pts"
in the same directory as the /dev/ptmx device node was opened in. If
there is a "pts" entry and that entry is a devpts filesystem /dev/ptmx
uses that filesystem. Otherwise the open of /dev/ptmx fails.
The DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES configuration option is removed, so that
userspace can now safely depend on each mount of devpts creating a new
instance of the filesystem.
Each mount of devpts is now a separate and equal filesystem.
Reserved ttys are now available to all instances of devpts where the
mounter is in the initial mount namespace.
A new vfs helper path_pts is introduced that finds a directory entry
named "pts" in the directory of the passed in path, and changes the
passed in path to point to it. The helper path_pts uses a function
path_parent_directory that was factored out of follow_dotdot.
In the implementation of devpts:
- devpts_mnt is killed as it is no longer meaningful if all mounts of
devpts are equal.
- pts_sb_from_inode is replaced by just inode->i_sb as all cached
inodes in the tty layer are now from the devpts filesystem.
- devpts_add_ref is rolled into the new function devpts_ptmx. And the
unnecessary inode hold is removed.
- devpts_del_ref is renamed devpts_release and reduced to just a
deacrivate_super.
- The newinstance mount option continues to be accepted but is now
ignored.
In devpts_fs.h definitions for when !CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are removed as
they are never used.
Documentation/filesystems/devices.txt is updated to describe the current
situation.
This has been verified to work properly on openwrt-15.05, centos5,
centos6, centos7, debian-6.0.2, debian-7.9, debian-8.2, ubuntu-14.04.3,
ubuntu-15.10, fedora23, magia-5, mint-17.3, opensuse-42.1,
slackware-14.1, gentoo-20151225 (13.0?), archlinux-2015-12-01. With the
caveat that on centos6 and on slackware-14.1 that there wind up being
two instances of the devpts filesystem mounted on /dev/pts, the lower
copy does not end up getting used.

killably now that we have down_write_killable() merged
- Additionally, it turns out that I missed a prerequisite for
security_d_instantiate() stuff - ->getxattr() wasn't the only thing
that could be called before dentry is attached to inode; with smack
we needed the same treatment applied to ->setxattr() as well"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
switch ->setxattr() to passing dentry and inode separately
switch xattr_handler->set() to passing dentry and inode separately
restore killability of old mutex_lock_killable(&inode->i_mutex) users
add down_write_killable_nested()
update D/f/directory-locking
smack ->d_instantiate() uses ->setxattr(), so to be able to call it before
we'd hashed the new dentry and attached it to inode, we need ->setxattr()
instances getting the inode as an explicit argument rather than obtaining
it from dentry.
Similar change for ->getxattr() had been done in commit ce23e64. Unlike
->getxattr() (which is used by both selinux and smack instances of
->d_instantiate()) ->setxattr() is used only by smack one and unfortunately
it got missed back then.

- Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on
any device. This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these
errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver.
- The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that
are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1.
Other misc changes:
- When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition
is page aligned. This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we
allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent reads/writes
would fail.
- Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX related to
zeroing, writeback, and some size checks.

Pull misc DAX updates from Vishal Verma:
"DAX error handling for 4.7
- Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on any
device. This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these
errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver.
- The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that
are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1.
Other misc changes:
- When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition is
page aligned. This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we
allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent
reads/writes would fail.
- Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX
related to zeroing, writeback, and some size checks"

It's not possible to read the process umask without also modifying it,
which is what umask(2) does. A library cannot read umask safely,
especially if the main program might be multithreaded.
Add a new status line ("Umask") in /proc/<PID>/status. It contains the
file mode creation mask (umask) in octal. It is only shown for tasks
which have task->fs.
This patch is adapted from one originally written by Pierre Carrier.
The use case is that we have endless trouble with people setting weird
umask() values (usually on the grounds of "security"), and then
everything breaking. I'm on the hook to fix these. We'd like to add
debugging to our program so we can dump out the umask in debug reports.
Previous versions of the patch used a syscall so you could only read
your own umask. That's all I need. However there was quite a lot of
push-back from those, so this new version exports it in /proc.

In the truncate or hole-punch path in dax, we clear out sub-page ranges.
If these sub-page ranges are sector aligned and sized, we can do the
zeroing through the driver instead so that error-clearing is handled
automatically.
For sub-sector ranges, we still have to rely on clear_pmem and have the
possibility of tripping over errors.

ta-da!
The main issue is the lack of down_write_killable(), so the places
like readdir.c switched to plain inode_lock(); once killable

Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
We'll need to verify that there's neither a hashed nor in-lookup
dentry with desired parent/name before adding to in-lookup set.
One possible solution would be to hold the parent's ->d_lock through
both checks, but while the in-lookup set is relatively small at any
time, dcache is not. And holding the parent's ->d_lock through
something like __d_lookup_rcu() would suck too badly.
So we leave the parent's ->d_lock alone, which means that we watch
out for the following scenario:
* we verify that there's no hashed match
* existing in-lookup match gets hashed by another process
* we verify that there's no in-lookup matches and decide
that everything's fine.
Solution: per-directory kinda-sorta seqlock, bumped around the times
we hash something that used to be in-lookup or move (and hash)
something in place of in-lookup. Then the above would turn into
* read the counter
* do dcache lookup
* if no matches found, check for in-lookup matches
* if there had been none of those either, check if the
counter has changed; repeat if it has.
The "kinda-sorta" part is due to the fact that we don't have much spare
space in inode. There is a spare word (shared with i_bdev/i_cdev/i_pipe),
so the counter part is not a problem, but spinlock is a different story.
We could use the parent's ->d_lock, and it would be less painful in
terms of contention, for __d_add() it would be rather inconvenient to
grab; we could do that (using lock_parent()), but...
Fortunately, we can get serialization on the counter itself, and it
might be a good idea in general; we can use cmpxchg() in a loop to
get from even to odd and smp_store_release() from odd to even.
This commit adds the counter and updating logics; the readers will be
added in the next commit.

Pull orangefs filesystem from Mike Marshall.
This finally merges the long-pending orangefs filesystem, which has been
much cleaned up with input from Al Viro over the last six months. From
the documentation file:
"OrangeFS is an LGPL userspace scale-out parallel storage system. It
is ideal for large storage problems faced by HPC, BigData, Streaming
Video, Genomics, Bioinformatics.
Orangefs, originally called PVFS, was first developed in 1993 by Walt
Ligon and Eric Blumer as a parallel file system for Parallel Virtual
Machine (PVM) as part of a NASA grant to study the I/O patterns of
parallel programs.
Orangefs features include:
- Distributes file data among multiple file servers
- Supports simultaneous access by multiple clients
- Stores file data and metadata on servers using local file system
and access methods
- Userspace implementation is easy to install and maintain
- Direct MPI support
- Stateless"

FAT has long supported its own default file name encoding config
setting, separate from CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT.
However, if UTF-8 encoded file names are desired FAT character set
should not be set to utf8 since this would make file names case
sensitive even if case insensitive matching is requested. Instead,
"utf8" mount options should be provided to enable UTF-8 file names in
FAT file system.
Unfortunately, there was no possibility to set the default value of this
option so on UTF-8 system "utf8" mount option had to be added manually
to most FAT mounts.
This patch adds config option to set such default value.

This document will describe OCFS2 online file check feature. OCFS2 is
often used in high-availaibility systems. However, OCFS2 usually
converts the filesystem to read-only when encounters an error. This may
not be necessary, since turning the filesystem read-only would affect
other running processes as well, decreasing availability.
Then, a mount option (errors=continue) is introduced, which would return
the -EIO errno to the calling process and terminate furhter processing
so that the filesystem is not corrupted further. The filesystem is not
converted to read-only, and the problematic file's inode number is
reported in the kernel log. The user can try to check/fix this file via
online filecheck feature.

This is a simple extension to the block layout driver to use SCSI
persistent reservations for access control and fencing, as well as
SCSI VPD pages for device identification.
For this we need to pass the nfs4_client to the proc_getdeviceinfo method
to generate the reservation key, and add a new fence_client method
to allow for fence actions in the layout driver.

This patch provides a proc/PID/timerslack_ns interface which exposes a
task's timerslack value in nanoseconds and allows it to be changed.
This allows power/performance management software to set timer slack for
other threads according to its policy for the thread (such as when the
thread is designated foreground vs. background activity)
If the value written is non-zero, slack is set to that value. Otherwise
sets it to the default for the thread.
This interface checks that the calling task has permissions to to use
PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS on the target task, so that we can ensure
arbitrary apps do not change the timer slack for other apps.

Here's the big tty/serial driver pull request for 4.6-rc1.
Lots of changes in here, Peter has been on a tear again, with lots of
refactoring and bugs fixes, many thanks to the great work he has been
doing. Lots of driver updates and fixes as well, full details in the
shortlog.
All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.
